Like this property? Maybe you'll like these ones close by too.
The property is approached via a gravel track through a 5-bar wooden gate that opens onto a sweeping gravel driveway that leads to a detached DOUBLE GARAGE with twin electric up-and-over doors. The driveway supplies ample parking and turning space.
The wonderful gardens are undoubtedly a magnificent feature of the property and have been carefully planted and nurtured by the current vendors over the years to create much for the passionate gardener to enjoy. The bungalow sits quite centrally within the plot and the gardens wrap around on every elevation, a mixture of manicured lawns interspersed with well-planted, irregular shaped borders that produce an abundance of seasonal colour and an large ornamental pond, all against a backdrop of established trees, including some exceptional specimen trees. Adjoining the rear of the bungalow is a generous rear patio, ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining and relaxing, and the nature of the setting allows for much privacy and attracts an abundance of birdlife. There is a useful potting shed attached to the rear of the garage as well as a discreetly hidden garden shed that has been recently replaced. Including a section of the gravel track, the plot totals approximately 0.98 acre.
